Bob is a graduate student on the 7th floor of the Stata building. While he likes getting food from the food trucks because they are cheap and good quality he does not like spending the time walking over to Carleton St and waiting in line.Furthermore Furthermore, once he does get his food, he always walks back to his office and eats alone while looking at pictures of cats on the Internet.Little Little does Bob know that there are 5 other graduate students on the 7th floor that also get food from the food trucks. They also don’t like wasting time getting food and also eat alone.
Bob happens to meet these 5 students during a social event and one of them mentions GroupOrder. With GroupOrder everyone places an order and the app will designate one of them as a “runner”. The runner will collect money from everyone, head down, pick up the food, and bring it back to a nearby location where the requester can pick up their food.Bob Bob and his 5 friends decide to register “7th floor Stata” on GroupOrder. That way, other people can discover their group and also take advantage of the convenient delivery.
The next day, Bob enters his order in GroupOrder. GroupOrder accepts his order and asks Bob if he is willing to be a runner for the day. Bob is kind of busy so he selects, “Only if no one else is available.” After 30 minutes other people have also placed orders.Bob Bob receives a notification from GroupOrder that David was willing to be the runner for the day and will be stopping by to pick up the money. Bob is on his way to a meeting so he catches David in the hallway to give him the money.
After the meeting, Bob is working in his office trying to figure out why his code is segfaulting. He receives a notification from GroupOrder that David has his meal in the 7th floor lounge area. Bob walks over and notices that his 5 friends are also there to picking up their food. Since they are already there, they all decide they might as well have lunch together.They They all eat together in the lounge area instead of all eating by themselves in their offices. They have a wonderful time talking and enjoying their great food before having to return to their busy day.
